Baby Chipmunk Burrows Into Giant 115-Pound Dog's Fur | The Dodo

@@2babobcat761 Exactly. While some will always oppose to people intervening in nature’s own issues, I can’t see what bad it can do to provide love and a safe haven to someone with a limited amount of time. I am sure Kip realized he was being loved until the very end despite his misfortune in having been kicked out from his nest. That always matters.

There is no more sweeter being on the face of the earth than a dog. I've seen my own dog express the same emotions and actions over loss. As she approaches 13, is losing weight and not eating like she should, I burst into tears over this video and the inevitable loss I will encounter in the not too distant future.

[@mewdreamer]

Seeing Charlie grieve for Kip broke my heart, but his reaction to the toy was so sweet too. He just wanted to take care of his friend and having something to remind him of Kip must have helped him.

you can see in one video that there’s another dog!

[@florencemcgee7151]

I think so too! Charlie ( I think he is the breed Newfoundland ) needs a furbaby friend, and would make a very good foster dad, for orphaned baby animals that needed comfort, a warm body to nuzzle into, like this little chipmunk did, just like a real momma animal would do. I've seen many rescue groups have a nurturing dog care for the smaller orphans , until they got a little bigger and stronger, then gently play with them even outside until they are able to make it in the rescue on their own. These are very touching to watch too, except the endings are happy. Charlie could possibly be tested to be a foster dad doggie! His deep feelings over his orphan friend's passing touched me deeply too!😥😊😊🐶🐿️💜💜💜💙💙💙🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺

Dogs who have had a calm and loving family generally are not aggressive towards smaller creatures. My friend had a pet mouse and a gold retriever, no issues. The mouse would ride on the dog at times. Sadly not always the case. My family is calm and while my dog is now (Due to being 13) She wasn't always. When she was not calm we had degus, and my dog would sit by the cage, hoping that she could eat them. Whenever we took them out to clean the cage or just pay, my dog was there ready to snack on them if she could. Each of the degus passed (We had 4) Penny, Oreo, Twipper and Maria. Penny was the only male, and died early on. (was the most hyper and hated being held, ended up being so calm that it wanted to be held.) Oreo was very calm, and lost a foot from the real (Sinning wheel broke her foot and she started eating the dead flesh, eventually it was just a skeletal foot sticking out, And she eventually broke that off. We had gotten twipper to keep her company. Oreo passed around the age of 5. Twipper was about 3 when we got Maria. (Who was my sister's professor's degu and about the same age as twipper) He figured i was best to let them have companionship. They both eventually passed. Around the same time.

It's amazing how much emotion animals actually feel. Charlie is an old soul and a very good dog and I think kip saw that too and felt comfortable and loved with Charlie and his family. Be strong Charlie. RIP KIP 🙏 🕊 ☮ ☹️ 😔 🥲 animals are amazing 👏

[@baronharkonnen1217]

I agree. I am constantly amazed and disappointed when people treat animals like "animals." Animals are very smart and have empathy. This is from Popular Mechanics not long ago: "Research shows that crows and other corvids (a family of birds that includes ravens and magpies) “know what they know and can ponder the content of their own minds,” according to a 2020 study in STAT. This is considered a cornerstone of self-awareness and shared by just a handful of animal species besides humans."

@@baronharkonnen1217 yeah, and I bet 99% of people commenting have no problem eating burgers, chicken, bacon, etc...

@@boom-bm1kl I have no problem with people eating meat as long as it's done in a humanely manner. It's just a part of nature that is seen in the animal kingdom. I have a problem with people invading the native species and causing their extinction.

@@MG-vo7pz so just animals killed during hunting season then. Because no other animals are "humanely" killed in SLAUGHTER houses

That bought a tear to my eyes, sooo sad & beautiful at the same time, that got me.

[@barbaraenglish3983]

PS: take Charlie to your nearest animal shelter and let him pick out his own little kitten. Charlie has so much love to give and such a need to take care of a little creature that it breaks my heart to see him unfulfilled. He is one of the sweetest dog I’ve ever seen. You are lucky to have each other. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MayLily]

Agreed. Maybe adopting a kitten will make him happier now that we know this sweet boy likes to take care of tiny ones.

[@debbys-abqnm4537]

Good idea, but note that they had another dog like Charlie of the same size, so there is at least one more 4-legged family member to comfort Charlie. Sometimes in Dodo videos we don't get to see other pets, only the one(s) the video wants to focus on.

[@heatherhughes2955]

Charlie would probably make a great foster dad! If the whole house was up to for that. What a blessing Kip was. ❤️🙏🏼

[@InfiniteTriztan1111]

Exactly, Charlie needs another furry companion rather than just a stuffed animal.

[@barbaraenglish3983]

@@MayLily Hi May. Well if Charlie manages to find a little kitty that wants a doggie dad, promise us that you’ll take lots of videos because this is mostly a sad, crazy world and watching even 5 minutes of their antics would be like getting a sample of heaven.

[@Tdww]

This is enough to make a grown man cry.

[@howardpower]

The most important thing out of this was Kip given a chance and lived out the best moments before his passing.

[@JustMe-01]

what a beautiful story about Kip and Charlie. In the past, I have owned ferrets while also owning dogs. It is amazing how curious, compassionate and playful the dogs were with the ferrets. They would play together and sleep together. Our "pets" are way more intelligent than they are given credit for.

[@Bryan-jj1ss]

"Our pets are way more intelligent"... meanwhile the dogs running around with a stuffed animal it thinks is Kip 😂

[@bruisersbeach4905]

I’m crying so hard right now….Kip and Charlie, both, have touched my Soul. It hurts so much to see animals pass and animals grieve. I’m so happy Charlie has his stuffed chipmunk 🐿; something tangible to help ease his grief.

[@ericcasarez1003]

I am literally shedding some tears for the cute little dude and for the mourning of Charlie. So glad you showed him a glimpse of humanity for his short but sweet life.

I'm crying as well Eric. I'm a grown ass man and this literally broke me.

[@risacat2046]

Charlie has a beautiful heart. I’m sad his friend passed. But, his beautiful eyes glowed when his parents bought him that plush toy that resembled his friend. What a blessing to have parents that understands and support u when u grieve.

[@flavienpereira9008]

charlie passed away too in october of 2021

[@savageone8931]

Kip was the most adorable thing I’ve seen. RIP lil fighter

[@kg89808]

This really pulls on your heartstrings!!! To see such compassion Charlie had for that little chipmunk 😫😫😫! Must have really good owners to have such a loving dog.

[@Pluhowski1]

Kip had a good time and probably loved it 🥰 so much

[@Pluhowski1]

He was so cute So sad I cried

[@karen_3]

dogs grieve just like us. so happy that Kip received so much love in his short life however for Charlie he lives on forever. ❤️

Hello Karen, how are you doing?

Are not animals nothing less than amazing? There is no better emotional support than the love of an animal🐶

[@ve5423]

Damn, I wasn't ready for that ending! What a good boy Charlie is 🐶 Rip Kip😢

[@OffshoreITguy]

You gave that little chipmunk a life. That is truly making the world a better place. Every little bit counts. Thank you for your kindness and I hope that nothing but good things happen for you and your family.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Sad & beautiful story all at the same time. Yes I needed a tissue for this ! Bless you little Kip !

[@lesterbronson2385]

Man, this made me cry. Losing a pet is as devastating as losing a person.

[@Veteransolo]

It's like losing your own family members, When my dog passed away, You should have seen my parents how much more they were crying, I was very sad, But my parents? I never ever seen them losing their minds like that. My father never liked animals, When we found my dog, I was 6, he was a puppy, not even a year old. He was the reason my father staryed to love animals, He was literally family. That's life...

[@dhirajgawande007]

Tis is why I don't have pets. I would be devastated

[@user-vr5zk9ox8d]

Losing people is worse, from someone who has lost plenty of both. I agree that we must mourn loss, but nothing really compares to when you lose a child, mother, father, or siblings.

This is the first vid that doesn't have a happy ending...but at least Kip was loved & Charlie found consolation. 😢💔

[@Urmi2575]

Recently we had same experience, our little cute burrito had fallen down from a height, we noticed and tried to take it to trees so that his mom can take care. It didn't work. Burrito was with us only for four days, but it changed our life. I totally agree, in it's last days, it found comfort in my and my daughter's palm, left us forever peacefully. Leaving behind so many innocent, loving , emotional memories.

[@jackieoesterman6688]

It breaks my heart that this precious little chipmunk didn't survive but so glad that he had such great times with his buddy. Love, love, this story.

[@lou3932]

This really hit me. The feeling of losing someone or something you care about is something you can’t explain. So, when I see a pet go through that and not be able to say exactly how they feel, my heart just breaks for them.

[@EboJ13]

So sad yet so beautiful.Poor Charlie. I’m glad he was able to get some comfort. 🤗🥺💝

[@erikgrimmcard2392]

I am at my keyboard at 2:55 in the afternoon crying my eyes out. Thanks KZbin. LOL. RIP KIP.... Good boy, Charlie.

[@steveburn8125]

Wow! That’s such an emotional story, nearly bought me to tears. Little Kip wasn’t around for long, but clearly that little soul made a big impact on you and Charlie. Sending love to you all

[@tunisiarawles]

Even though little Kip didn't make it, I'm so glad that you and Charlie gave him so much happiness with the little time he had left on this earth. God bless you and most of all Charlie.🙏 Kip is in heaven.
